The Ultra-90 shined when a more intense heat load was applied, showing what more heatpipes can really do when running an overclocked CPU. Despite lacking the features of the XP-90 like cooling surrounding motherboard components, the Ultra-90 still manages to get by, and keep's the CPU a full 2ºC cooler when overclocked.

Overall the heatsink is a great buy. Price vs. performance ratio is great. Paired with the 30 dBa Panaflo, it makes for a quiet, and effective cooling solution on any budget, for almost any socket.

Not too bad. However, this review seemed fairly laid back or something, much more casual. Not necessarily a bad thing. Also, when talking about test setup and method, you should say how long you let it sit for idle and load. I know you photoed that into your screenshots, but I prefer it all being stated before the testing screenies. That's personal preference though. Besides that, nice job

Edit: Upon a more thorough reading, I'm sorry to say I've come to dislike it You misspelled necessarily and necessary. I really feel you should spell out everything fully instead of using all of those abbreviations. You should have capitalized Ballistix. The overall organization seemed off and it just doesn't seem to flow. This is not a flame or anything of the sort. I just have a bit of a habit of stating things very bluntly.Quote
